ATTACHING HANDLES TO VESSELS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 503,674, dated August 22, 1893.

Application filed December 7. 1391. Renewed January 23,1893. Serial No. 459A49. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

.Be it known that I, EDWARD M. PEACOCK, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Attaching Handles to Vessels, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in attaching handles to sheet metal ware, such as dippers, sauce-pans and like articles, having for its object the attachment of such handles rapidly and securely and in the case of enameled Ware, subsequent to the enameling operation and without injury or damage to the enamel coating.

To this end my said invention consists in the details of construction and combination of parts, all as hereinafter more specifically described and claimed.

In the drawings, in the several figures of which likeparts are similarly designated: Figure 1 is a view of a dipper partly in section, showing the application of my invention. Figs. 2 and 3 are details of construction. Fig. 4 1s a sectional view of a handle applied to a sauce-pan or similar vessel, in accordance with my invention. Fig. 5 is an end View thereof; and Fig. 6 is adetail of construction.

a represents the vessel having rigidly secured thereto the saddle or projection, comprising the raised portion or face I), the side wall a, and the laterally projecting wings (1, through which the said projection or saddle is riveted to the vessel body. In the case of a dipper or other small article, the face or raised portion 6, may be provided with the small upper and lower flanges 6, (see Fig. 3),

affording a seat or pocket for the securing nut f. In order to give to the article a more finthe shield g, and the face I), of the saddle or projection, and engages with the nut f, and, as the handle and screw are turned, said nut is drawn up to its seat formed by the flanges c, and e, thus securely uniting the handle to the vessel.

In the case of sauce-pans and similar vessels, the construction is much the same, except that I prefer to have the shield g, integral with the handle h, and an independent screw 70, supplants the fixed screw j; being inserted through an aperture or recess Z, formed in the shield of the handle for that purpose, and the upper part of thehandle is extended under the bead m, of the vessel, affording a more rigid attachment.

It will be obvious that by the employment of my invention a very rapid and effective union of handles to vessels is attained, giving to the finished article a neat and attractive appearance.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

l. A sheet metal vessel provided with a projecting bridge or saddle, a nut seated in the saddle, a handle, and a handle securing screw which passes through the saddle and engages the nut therein, as shown and described.

2. A sheet metal vessel provided with a projecting bridge or saddle, a nut seated therein, a shield surrounding the saddle, a handle, and a handle securing screw which passes through the shield and the saddle and engages the nut therein, as shown and described.

3. A sheet metal vessel provided with a projecting bridge or saddle comprising a raised face or portion 12, walls 0, flanges e, and wings d, a nut seated in the saddle, a handle and a handle securing screw passing through the EDWARD PEAOOOK.
